2024 WWR #8 Bridgetown
The last of 8 race events for the 2024 Wild Water Season - from reede, 16. august 2024.
Location: Blackwood River Park, Bridgetown
Race Events: Teams Race (Saturday), Individual (Sunday)
Transport: A car shuffle is required
Safety: Due to the course being held in wild water conditions, it is necessary for all paddlers to wear helmets and PFD’s. Each competitor should also have a whistle attached to their PFD for emergency situations.
It is also recommended for all paddlers to have grab loops on their boats to assist rescue and for kayaks to have floats/buoyancy inside their boats to ensure boats do not fill with water in the case of a capsize. All kayak paddlers will require cockpit skirts with appropriate grab loop for ease of escape from a capsized boat.
Whilst we welcome paddlers of all skill levels, it is expected that competitors can self assess personal risk based on their own competency and the section of river and it's associated levels. The race organisers and safety officials reserve the right to withdraw any competitor at any stage of the event if deemed necessary to ensure the competitors personal safety.
